Lu Shu bumped into Xi Fei on his way down . Xi Fei was visibly shocked . “Since when were you here? How did I not see you?”

“Ha ha . ” Lu Shu tried to change the subject . After all, he had climbed through the window to reach the seventh floor . If Xi Fei saw him at the main gate, it was most likely a ghost . “I have received special permission to enter the Cultivation College . It looks like we won’t be colleagues for now . How regretful . Let’s work together in the future if we have the chance . ”

“No regrets, no regrets . ” Xi Fei laughed loudly .

Um…

Xi Fei realized that he had said something wrong . He quickly explained, “How can this be a regret? It’s great that you managed to get into Luo City Cultivation College . I am happy for you . How is that regretful?”

“Okay . Go do what you have to do . ” Lu Shu patted Xi Fei’s shoulder and walked out .

As he passed by the gates of the Cultivation College, he saw Li Yixiao and Nalan Que holding hands as they walked in . Seeing them hold hands as they walked made Lu Shu cringe . Li Yixiao saw Lu Shu and smiled . “Lu Shu, you’re back! I was trying to find you on New Year’s Eve, but you weren’t at home . Where did you go?”

Lu Shu was happy . “Come, let’s go to your house to discuss some things . ”

Li Yixiao’s expression suddenly changed . “Let’s talk here instead . ”

“How could you?” Nalan Que was unhappy . “Let Xiaoshu go to your house for a chat . ”

“I want to bask in the sun here,” Li Yixiao said resolutely .

Lu Shu smacked his lips and looked at the dark clouds overhead . “In a few months, the Cultivation College will welcome ten thousand students from the Daoyuan Class . Is it possible to invest in a hotel at the Liu village? Or if that is too expensive, can we build an inn or something else instead?”

Lu Shu had this on his mind for a very long time . The land that they had secured was no more than 700 meters away from the Luo Shen Cultivation College . They would definitely have steady earnings if they built an inn there .

After all, the Luo Shen Cultivation College was not completely closed off . The students also had to go out to fulfill their needs .

Li Yixiao suddenly said, “I had just wanted to talk to you about this . The Liu village manager has been thinking about doing so . The cement, sand, bricks and other construction materials have been transported over . ”

“I see that you have thought carefully about this . ” Lu Shu nodded his head . “This also counts as a business . Anyway, we are all from the Heavenly Network . It is easier to gain approval . ”

Nalan Que said, “You are both greenhorns when it comes to things like this . Leave it to me . Let my family settle the budget . They can carry out the plan . ”

Nalan Que did this not just for Li Yixiao’s sake . It was because when the Nalan family worked with Li Yixiao and Lu Shu, they did not make any big losses . Nalan Que gave the money Lu Shu returned her to her family . The Nalan family wanted to associate with Lu Shu . After all, there was no eternal hate, only eternal benefits . The Nalan family passed the judgment that Lu Shu would hold an important position in the Heavenly Network in the future . There was no harm in investing in friendly relations with him now .

As for Li Yixiao, forget about it . Nalan Que’s mother still felt that Li Yixiao’s and Nalan Que’s horoscopes clashed . Now that Nalan Que had grown up, she did not care about this . All her relatives could do was ignore Li Yixiao . But they did not seem quite happy about this…

Lu Shu returned home . He was happy to let the Nalan family settle this matter . It was best to leave this to the experts . Now, Lu Shu could be one step ahead of others in his training . But as for the construction of the inn, he did not know where to start .

That night, Nalan Que’s relatives in Luo City started work . Some earth element Metahuman had even finished digging the foundation for the inn…

The Nalan family had never talked about money with Lu Shu . It was as if Lei Feng 1 had reappeared . They did not hide the fact that they were trying to win Lu Shu over to their side .

At the same time, when Lu Shu was looking through the Golden Foundation forum, he realised that while China was celebrating the New Year, the activities overseas had not ceased . A relic had opened in South America, but the Heavenly Network did not get involved . On the contrary, Practitioners from all over the world started to make their move .

Lu Shu could not find any more information on the Golden Foundation forum . But he realized that the Heavenly Network phone that You Mingyu had given him at first was able to receive a lot of overseas information .

He even asked Li Yixiao whether he had received any of this information . Li Yixiao’s answer was negative, he did not receive anything .

Lu Shu realized that Nie Ting did so to maintain his attention towards overseas affairs . This meant that Nie Ting had not given up on his intention to make Lu Shu go overseas . Li Yixiao, a Heavenly King, did not receive anything . There would be a problem if he did .

The information revealed that the Heavenly Network did not participate in the opening of the relic in South America as the Heavenly Network had not infiltrated South America . An organization had its limits . It could only pay attention to more important areas, for example Japan, North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia . They would concentrate their resources and manpower into these areas . As for less important areas like South America and Australia, they could only leave it aside for now .

The next day, Lu Shu received a call from You Mingyu to retrieve something from the black market . You Mingyu said that it was from the Capital .

Lu Shu hung up the phone and pondered about it . It was as if he had found a way to get closer to the core of the Heavenly Network . Nie Ting no longer forced him out . On the other hand, he was gently and mildly allowing him to access information about the core of the organization . This allowed him to slowly approach the core of the Heavenly Network .

Lu Shu was open to persuasion, but not to coercion . If Nie Ting forced him to go overseas, Lu Shu would definitely not agree . But if Nie Ting used a gentler approach, giving him information, goods and even special admittance into the Cultivation College, Lu Shu felt somewhat bad…

Could the conflict between him and Nie Ting be brought to a temporary close? Lu Shu felt that this was not bad . A harmonious society where harmony is prized was good .

Lu Shu came to the black market and saw You Mingyu in his office, talking to some of the leaders of the secret practitioner groups . He eavesdropped on their conservation . You Mingyu said, “When our men come, go out with your backpackers . Remember, listen to all the commands . If there is someone dangerous, inform us . If people rob you, we will bring you to rob them . But if this leaks out, I will not admit it . Also, if others do not make a move, don’t make a move and create trouble . Do you understand?”

The secret practitioners smiled and nodded . The biggest problem with these backpackers buying magical stones overseas was their safety . The places they were going to did not have peace and prosperity . There were many people who would kill for a magical stone . Everyone knew that the Heavenly Network had accepted the black market . This was a tacit understanding .

Lu Shu was dumbfounded . The officials protected those who were going overseas to seize training materials . Looking at these secret practitioners, they were in the early stages of forming a trade caravan .
